Same Old Love

Chapter 47

I sighed, and sat on the bed. Iginala ko ang mga mata ko. Tiningnan ko ang picture na nakalagay sa side table niya.

It's their picture, Aliiana showing his engagement ring. They're both smiling, they're both happy.

This is his parents house, means they often go to sleep here?

Why is it still here?

I am not in the position to take this off. Hinayaan ko lang, at tinitigan.

Maraming pumapasok sa isip ko.

Why do I feel like they really love each other? What if they really want to get married? What if they already promised each other to build a family in their own house, but Greggy changed his mind because I came back?

Maybe Alliana let go of Greggy, because We had a son?

Nag-bihis na ako, at siniguradong hindi ako nakita ni Greggy nung lumabas.

Nag-pakita ako kay Alfonso saglit, at nag-paalam sa magulang ni Greggy. Gusto pa nga sanang sumama ni Elvira kaso ay hindi siya pinayagan.

Nag-mamadali akong lumabas dahil papalabas na ng kusina si Greggy.

Saktong may taxi na dumaan kaya kaagad na rin akong sumakay.

Mabilis akong nakarating, at nakita ko si Shelly sa labas.

"Shelly!" Sigaw ko, kaagad naman siyang lumingon.

"Irene! Omg!" She exaggeratedly said.

"Ang aga ata natin?" I asked.

"Anong ang aga? In fact almost all of them are there na! You aren't reading our messages sa group chat ha!"

Sa kadaldalan ni Shelly, I didn't notice her husband standing beside him.

He's looking at me, while his jaw dropped.

"Toby?!" I called.

He nodded, and offered his hand to me. "You came back na pala? Since when?"

"Matagal tagal na rin" Sambit ko, at ngumiti.

"Alis ka na, by. Look for our children ha? Bye, love you" Shelly said, and kissed his cheek.

Toby immediately left.

"Hindi ka hinatid ni Greggy? Why did you ride a taxi? Eh ang dami daming driver nila Greggy" She uttered.

"Hmm?" I hummed, and shook my head. I can't even say a word. My heart feels heavy.

"Let's go na?" Shelly asked, and caressed my back.

We entered, and saw a lot of unfamiliar faces. In nof so far away, I immediately saw Small dancing in the middle of the crowd.

This girl!

"We're here!" Shelly shouted. At first they didn't hear it, but when Small saw us. She shouted, and finally they noticed us.

They hugged me one by one. They are glancing at my back, looking if Greggy is with me.

"Himala!" Ana said, and laughed.

I just smiled, and took a deep breath.

I looked at my phone. There's no missed calls from Greggy.

I sighed, got the bottle of beer from Dawn, and drank it all.

"Woah! That's beer ha" Dawn said, shocked.

"You've changed, my dear Irene! My god!" Small said, and put his palm on his both cheek.

"Told yah!" Alex uttered.
